Would the Belgian Congo and Suez Crisis of the 1950's had CMP's involved? There is also the possibility of the early conflicts between India and Pakistan.

Canadian Scout Car Lynx II (Mk.3)
According to the book 'Armor in Vietnam' by Jim Mesko (IBSN 0-89747-126-1) At least one Lynx Scout Car II (Mk.3),was used in Vietnam after the first M-113 APC were introduced in 1962. the caption is certainly wrong but we see it many times in many books where the Dingo and the Lynx are mixed up.
Attached is a photo from the U.S.Army showing the Lynx and an M=113 in Vietnam after 1962. I see that it is a late production with the upgraded axles. It has 8 stud wheels not 6 studs. I have received permission from the Publishing Company for the OK to reproduce this photo. Please credit “Courtesy of Squadron Signal Publications” and we retain all rights, trademarks, etc., of the picture

A friend served in Indonesia with the Dutch Army immediately after the war. At the time the Japanese were acting as civil police. His section used a Chev 15cwt as a radio truck with a 19 set.

It may be possible as late as the 70s or even 80s with the Indo-Pakistan conflict.
I do recall seeing a picture of 25pdr and No.27 limbers in service with the Indian army during this time frame.

I saw a CMP in Burma in March this year with regular army soldiers in the back (saw lots in the 90's still in Burmese service). They are engaged in a very real shooting conflict still with the Katchin and other rebels so I suppose the "last" is still to come after more than 70 years.
